This reminds of being annoyed a few years back when Hilde and I visited the aquarium at the Albuquerque Biopark. I had my good camera with me, the Mavica that used mini-CDs as a storage medium, and I got some really good shots of their jellyfish tanks. That, of course, was the only time when one of the mini-CDs later decided, “Oh, hey, I’d going to SELF-DESTRUCT and you’ll never — NEVER! — be able to recover those photos you wanted to keep, BWAA-HA-HA-HA!!!”

(The Biopark is well worth visiting if you’re ever in Albuquerque. Also the Natural History museum there.)

Which reminds me: The Bipark’s gift shop had plushie versions of jellyfish in their gift shop. Really cute, but I couldn’t help thinking that leading kids to think of jellyfish as “cuddly” was probably a bad idea.
